Definitions

  • the state of the art can be defined by patent EP 0.041.657.
  • the object of this patent is an express coffee machine for brewing coffee from ground coffee cakes, comprising means which define an infusion chamber having an outlet for brewed coffee and designed to receive ground coffee cakes ; means for moving a strip containing cakes of ground coffee and placing a fresh cake of ground coffee in the brewing chamber; a container for fresh ground coffee cakes and a container for used cakes; activation means which can be operated by the user to activate the machine; control means for supplying the pumping means; a water tank; means for heating water, operatively connected to the brewing chamber; pumping means connected to the tank and to the heating means; conduits connecting the reservoir and the water heating means to the brewing chamber, the pumping means being interposed in the conduits, characterized in that the coffee machine is provided with two pumping means, that the one of the pumping means constitutes a rotary pump and that the other pumping means constitutes a reciprocating pump, these rotary and reciprocating pumps being such that they pump alternately water through a
  • the installation is close to the installation of a film film ribbon in a projector. It is therefore necessary to ensure continuity of supply of the support bands.
  • These support bands are intended for a determined number of doses of coffee. This number depends on the capacity of the coffee machine and its flow.
  • the invention tends to solve all these problems
  • An apparatus has been designed to place at the ends of each support strip for ground coffee pellets, fastening means allowing connection with the upstream support strip and the downstream support strip, so as to ensure continuity of supply of the coffee machine by series of support strips, without having to install each support strip successively.
  • Said support strips comprise signaling means which cooperate with detectors arranged on the machine and which signal to the user that the support strip for ground coffee pellets is coming, soon at the end of said strip, the user must then connect the strip downstream or strip in place during operation with the upstream strip or next strip loaded with doses or pellets of ground coffee.
  • the attachment means or connection clips are ribbons of which the profiles fit into each other.
  • the tape is made up of two complementary fasteners, each having a flat part which allows attachment to the support strip and another part whose profile allows it to be hooked with the corresponding part of the other fastener.
  • the apparatus for applying said staples cuts the H-shaped ribbon so that it can, at installation, at the end of the strips supporting the pellets, leave free the holes in the strip for the pins d 'training.
  • the signaling means are optical means cooperating with optical detectors.
  • the signaling means are magnetic means such as metallic pads cooperating with magnetic and / or metallic detectors.
  • the optical and / or metal detectors are placed on the coffee machine at the entrance to the tablet support strip.
  • the coffee machine is provided at the outlet of the support strip with coffee pellets, which are then used, with a cutting means which cuts the support strip at each tablet. Said disconnected pellets fall into a bin provided for this purpose, said bin comprises a level detector to send an audible and / or light signal, as soon as it is full of used pellets.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of the machine which manufactures the support strips for tablets of ground coffee doses of the apparatus which places the staples connecting clips for support strips of tablets. This schematic figure represents all of these machines seen from the side.
  • Figure 2 is a view of these machines seen from above.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic view of the coffee machine particularly highlighting the feeding by series of strips supporting ground coffee pellets, their fastening means, their end of strip detection means, the cutting means lozenges or doses of the strip.
  • Figure 4 is a schematic view of the coffee machine as shown in Figure 3 where we highlight by arrows the connecting means of two support strips of ground coffee pellets between them and the change of a full cartridge. This Figure 4 also highlights the trash or used dose collection bin with their level detection means.
  • Figure 5 is a top view of two contiguous support bands with at their ends connecting means from an attached tape. In this view, the two bands are separated.
  • Figure 6 is a view of two strips according to Figure 5 where the two support strips have been connected by their connecting means.
  • Figure 7 is a view according to Figure 6 but viewed from the side of two support strips connected together.
  • Figure 8 is a plan view of the ribbon which forms the two connection means or fasteners 8A, 8B, 21A, 21B. It highlights the cutting of the ribbon for its application to the ends of the support strips for ground coffee pellets.
  • Figure 9 is a sectional view along the axis A-A shown in Figure 8 where the two fasteners 8A, 8B have been connected together by their attachment means and by translation.
  • Figure 10 is a view according to Figure 9 but where the two fasteners 8A, 8B are separated from each other.
  • FIG 1 are shown schematically the perforating roller 1 which will allow to create holes 2 on each side of the support strip 3 of pellets or cakes 4 of ground coffee.
  • FIG. 1 there are shown a cutting tool 5 for individual doses or pellets 4, a cutting tool 6 for the strip 3, a welding and cutting tool 7 for the tape 9, fastening means 8 which are formed by a ribbon 9.
  • FIG. 2 In FIG. 2 are shown breaker rollers 10, a conveyor belt 11 for discharging the doses or pellets, a advancement mechanism 12, a punching tool 13 for the ribbon 9 which forms attachment means 8, an unwinder 14 tape 9, a conveyor 15 of storage boxes 16 for the strips 3, a distribution chute 17 (in FIG. 1) of said strips 3 for folding them according to the storage box 16.
  • the means of fasteners or staples 8 for connection are formed by a ribbon 9 as shown in FIG. 8.
  • This ribbon 9 makes it possible to form two fasteners 8 which hook one into the other by their hooking profile. 8A, 8B.
  • This ribbon 9 is trimmed or dimensioned by the cutting tool 6 of the support strip 3; the two parts 18, 19 which have been trimmed are piers
  • the cutting tool 6 of the support strip 3 cuts a window 20 from the ribbon 9.
  • the ribbon 9 is then cut into two fasteners 8A, 8B which have the shape of an H as shown in FIG. 8 .
  • These two fasteners 8 are each formed of a part serving as attachment means 8A and of a flat part 21A which allows fixing on the support strip 3.
  • 21A corresponds another complementary fastener composed of an attachment profile 8B and a flat part 21B which allows the fixing on the other end of another support strip for the ground coffee pellets.
  • the attachment means 8 are hooked by their attachment portion 8A, 8B (see the figures shown 8, 9 and 10), the interlocking is effected by translation as indicated according to the arrow F1.
  • the apparatus to put the fasteners 8 in place, fixes said fasteners by their flat part, part 21A, 21B on the ends of the support strips 3.
  • the window 20 which has been cut allows space to be given to the holes 2 of the strip 3 (see FIG. 5), the holes 2 allowing the passage of the drive pins of the strip 3 in particular in the coffee machine 22.
  • Said support strips 3 comprise signage means 23 or 24. These said signage means cooperate with detectors 25 which signal to the user that the support strip 3 of coffee pellets 4 is soon coming to an end.
  • the user must then connect the downstream band 3A or band in place during operation of the coffee machine 22 with the upstream band 3B or following band loaded with doses or pellets of ground coffee 4.
  • the optical signaling means 23 can be optically detectable means or magnetic or metallic means 24, detectable by metal detectors or magnetic detectors 25.
  • the coffee machine 22 is also provided, at the outlet of the support strip 3, of a cutting means 26.
  • the cutting means 26 cuts each lozenge or ground coffee cake 4 into individual doses, so as to facilitate the recovery of the used doses 4 in a bin or trash can 27 which will allow them to be disposed of easily .
  • Said bin can be provided with a level detector 28 which sends an audible and / or light signal to indicate that said bin is full of used pellets 4 and that said bin must be emptied or replaced.
